Weblogger

December 8, 2009 — jao

Here i am, finally using Emacs for real to edit posts, thanks to weblogger.

Installing it cannot be easier: download the file, and its only dependency, xml-rpc. Put both of them in your load path, require weblogger (e.g. using M-x load-library and call M-x weblogger-setup-weblog, providing the required information.

If you then invoke M-x weblogger-fetch-entries, you’ll be presented a collection of your posts, as if they were emails (which i like quite a bit), and there’re are commands to browse and modify them, create new ones, save drafts and, of course, publish new entries. Just check the file header, or the menu, for a list of available commands.

There’s also support for simple templates, and for editing your posts using nxml-mode.

The only capability i’m missing is setting categories in WordPress. Perhaps it’s time to roll-up my sleeves! 🙂

how do i set the tag and title of the post? subject and keywords doesn’t seem to work.

thanks! btw, thanks for this post. been looking for a good emacs (with org-mode) solution to incorporate into my blogging routine. although this doesn’t have org-mode yet, it at least offers a good method for posting. KUDOS!
